I haev to so strongly disagree with this! In fact, I'm shocked that
someone that uses PostgreSQL could even suggest that it's about the
same --- PostgreSQL is a solid, enterprise-grade mature product;
MySQL... well, I've seen it compared to Access... True that at this
point in time, the comparison probable is unfair.

Ok. I stand corrected, I've not been motivated to investigate, MySQL,
but given its popularity figured it must have something going for it.
(was it just first to release a windows installer?)

I guess MySQL is going after those who would use access, while postgres is
aimed at replacing oracle?

It also explains some of the messy punbb code that does things that are
easier to do with cascading deletes etc..
